ALBANY – The Albany District Attorney’s Office finished presenting its case against Alan Hevesi yesterday by recalling the state-paid driver who chauffeured the scandal-tainted comptroller’s wife.

Nicholas Acquafredda testified for 90 minutes in his second appearance before the grand jury. Later, he declined to comment, and his lawyer, Joel Weiss, would say only, “Certainly not,” when asked if Acquafredda believed he did anything wrong.

Hevesi chose not to appear before the grand jury, a source with knowledge of the investigation said. Next, barring a major development, the grand jury will be given a range of charges to consider.

It is expected to vote next Friday, the source said – adding that it was “moving forward toward indicting.”

The grand jury will not be asked next week to consider charges against Hevesi Chief of Staff Jack Chartier, who provided access to a state-paid driver to his close friend, actress Peggy Lipton.

But it could remain empaneled to hear charges against Chartier when it’s through with Hevesi.
